the presence of many biosynthetic genes for this category of compounds. These peptides
40
can be categorized by their biosynthetic machineries as either ribosomally synthesized and
41
post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) or nonribosomal peptides (NRPs).1,2 In the
42
latter case, nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) are representative biosynthetic
43
enzymes. NRPSs are modular type large enzymes and a typical module consists of an
44
adenylation (A) domain, a peptidyl carrier protein (PCP) domain and a condensation (C)
45
domain. The A-domain activates the carboxylic acid of an amino acid with ATP and
46
determines the amino acid to be selected and activated. Unlike ribosomes, NRPSs can
47
utilize nonproteinogenic amino acids as building blocks. The C-domain catalyzes the
48
peptide bond formation between the upstream peptidyl PCP and downstream amino acyl
49
PCP. Besides NRPSs, amino acid ligases with ATP-grasp domains (ATP-grasp-ligases),
50
tRNA-dependent aminoacyl transferase/cyclodipeptide synthases, stand-alone adenylation

(A) domains and acyl-CoA synthetases (acyl-AMP-ligases) are also involved in NRP

56
view. One is the difference of the second amino acid. Considering the presence of D-amino
57
acids in 1 and 2, they could be biosynthesized by a NRPS. However, the substrate

58
specificities of the A-domains of NRPSs are strict and one A-domain usually activates one
59
amino acid. Therefore, we hypothesized three possibilities: (i) the producer possesses
60
separate NRPSs for 1 and 2 biosynthesis; (ii) one NRPS biosynthesizes 1, which is then
61
converted to 2 by tailoring reactions; (iii) L-cysteic acid is independently biosynthesized
62
and a single A-domain is exceptionally able to activate both L-Asp and L-cysteic acid. The
63
other interesting feature is the presence of the N-terminal phenylacetate. To date, a dozen
64
phenylacetylated natural polyketides and a few N-terminal phenylacetylated peptides such
65
as penicillin G, microcystin,8 and JBIR-969 have been isolated. However, reports on the
66
detailed phenylacetylation mechanism are limited. In the case of penicillin G, isopenicillin
67
N acyltransferase was shown to convert isopenicillin N to penicillin G.10 In microcystin
68
biosynthesis, phenylpropanoids were suggested to be loaded onto the PCP-domain rather
69
than phenylacetate by ATP–PPi exchange assays and mass spectrometry, although the
70
mechanism by which one carbon is excised from the starter substrate remains unknown.8
71
Recently, Fu et al. reported that a pyruvate dehydrogenase-like protein complex catalyzed
72
the decarboxylation of phenylpyruvate to form a phenylacetyl-S-acyl carrier protein, which
73
would be utilized in a subsequent polyketide biosynthetic assembly line, in ripostatin
74
biosynthesis.11 In this study, we investigated the phenylacetylation mechanism in JBIR-78
75
(1) and JBIR-95 (2) biosynthesis.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
78
Identification of 1 and 2 biosynthetic genes
79
To identify the 1 and 2 biosynthetic gene cluster(s), we generated a draft genome
80
sequence for the producer and searched for orfs large enough to encode the seven
81
A-domains essential for substrate activation in heptapeptide biosynthesis. From a BLAST
82
search, we identified one candidate gene cluster (Figure 2, Table 1). The gene cluster
83
consisted of eight orfs containing three orfs (orf4 to orf6) encoding NRPSs. Orf4 and Orf5
84
had the same domain architectures; C-A-PCP-C-A-PCP-epimerization domain (E-domain).
85
Orf6 was composed of C-A-PCP-C-A-PCP-E-C-A-PCP-thioesterase (TE) domains. The
86
positions of the E-domains perfectly matched the locations of the D-amino acids in 1 and 2.
87
Moreover, the substrate specificities of each of the A-domains predicted by
88
NRPSpredictor2 (http://nrps.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/Controller?cmd=SubmitJob) were
89
roughly identical to the amino acid sequences of 1 (Supplementary Table 1, 2, and 3). Two
90
orfs (orf1 and orf2), which encode two of the three component enzymes of pyruvate
91
dehydrogenase complex, were found in the region upstream from the NRPS genes. Orf1
92
was composed of pyruvate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.4.1, E1β unit) and dihydrolipoyl
93
transacetylase (EC 2.3.1.12, E2 unit). Orf2 was similar to the E1α unit of pyruvate
94
dehydrogenase. Although no homologs of dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase (EC 1.8.1.4, E3
95
unit) existed in the gene cluster, we identified one homolog outside of the gene cluster.

Orf8 was similar to cytochrome P450 and presumably participates in the
105
hydroxylation of Leu to form 3-hydroxy-D-Leu. Additionally, Orf7 was similar to MbtH, an
106
integral component of NRPSs that is essential for amino acid activation.13 The identified
107
gene cluster was the sole candidate and no paralogs of the identified genes existed in the
108
draft genome database. Therefore, the production of both 1 and 2 was suggested to be
109
governed by this gene cluster.

Heterologous expression of the gene cluster
112
Next, we performed a heterologous expression experiment to examine whether the
113
gene cluster identified in this study contained all the genes responsible for 1 and 2
114
biosynthesis. A cosmid library of the producer was constructed with a shuttle cosmid vector,

pOJ446.14 Positive cosmids carrying the gene cluster were obtained by PCR screening with
116
appropriate primers and the cosmid pC35 was introduced into Streptomyces lividans TK23.
117
After cultivation of the transformants, the products were analyzed by LC-ESI-MS. As
118
shown in Figure 3 and Supplementary Figure 1, the production of both 1 and 2 was
119
suggested. Although the cosmid had one additional gene (Figure 2) downstream of orf8
120
gene, this gene was suggested to have no relation to 1/2 biosynthesis. Taken together, our
121
results suggested that both products were biosynthesized by this gene cluster alone and that

and L-cysteic acid.

Characterization of Orf1 and Orf2
126
To examine whether Orf1 and Orf2 catalyzed the conversion of phenylpyruvate to
127
phenylacetyl-CoA, an in vitro assay with recombinant enzymes was carried out. A DNA
128
fragment carrying both the orf1 and orf2 genes was inserted into the pET28a vector so that
129
only Orf2 was expressed as a His-tagged recombinant enzyme because Orf1 was
130
co-purified with Orf2 by Ni-NTA column chromatography (Supplementary Figure 2). A
131
recombinant enzyme of the putative dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase (E3 unit) was also
132
prepared as a His-tagged recombinant enzyme (Supplementary Figure 2). After the
133
recombinant enzymes were expressed and purified, they were mixed and incubated with

135
dehydrogenase reaction. A new product whose molecular mass was consistent with that of
136
phenylacetyl-CoA was specifically detected by LC-ESI-MS analysis (Figure 4). Its high
137
resolution molecular mass also agreed with that of phenylacetyl-CoA ([M+H]+ calcd. for

Characterization of Orf3 Orf3 showed similarity to the pyridoxal 5ʹ-phosphate dependent
L-cysteic
acid
142
synthase. To confirm its expected activity, we tried an in vitro assay with recombinant
143
enzymes. Although we could express Orf3 recombinant enzymes with several expression
144
vectors such as pET vectors, pMAL-c5X and pCold-TF, all recombinant enzymes formed
145
inclusion bodies. Therefore, we carried out heterologous expression of the gene cluster
146
without the orf3 gene. We constructed a cosmid lacking orf3 gene (pC35∆orf3) from pC35.
147
Unexpectedly, the transformant harboring pC35∆orf3 did not lose 2 productivity and still
148
produced a small amount of 2 concomitant with enhanced production of 1 (Figure 3 and
149
Supplementary Figure 1). A possible reason for this is that L-cysteic acid might be supplied
150
by an alternative enzyme such as L-serine ammonia-lyase (EC 4.3.1.17) that catalyzes the
151
elimination of water from L-serine to form L-dehydroalanine, to which sulfite attacks.
152
Indeed, 2 productivity was dramatically recovered when L-cysteic acid was added into the

Previously, a few A-domains in NRPSs, which activated two different amino acids,
158
were reported. Pelgipeptin A/C and pelgipeptin B/D possess L-Val and L-Ile at the second
159
position, respectively. The substrate selectivity of A-domains (PlpE A1) responsible for

shown to activate both L-Val and L-Ile.

the A-domains recognized the structurally and chemically similar amino acids. For the

173 174
Characterization of Orf4
175
Through detailed analysis of each of the domains in Orf4, we found that a
176
PCP-domain to anchor phenylpyruvate was absent. Moreover, Orf1 and Orf2 catalyzed the
177
formation of phenylacetyl-CoA as mentioned above. These results suggested that
178
phenylacetyl-CoA is directly condensed with L-Val at the first C-domain in module 1 of
179
Orf4 in a similar manner to that of surfactin and amphi-enterobactin siderophore
180
biosynthesis.17,18 To examine this possibility, a truncated recombinant Orf4 (module 1) was
181
prepared and used for in vitro assay. We first tried to prepare a recombinant enzyme
182
possessing the first module with the C-, A-, and PCP-domains. However, we were unable to
183
obtain recombinant proteins. We then prepared recombinant enzymes divided into
184
C-A-domains and the PCP-domain. In this case, both recombinant enzymes were expressed
185
as soluble forms (Supplementary Figure 4).
186
The purified recombinants were incubated with
L-valine
and phenylacetyl-CoA,
187
which was prepared by the enzyme reaction described above, in the presence of ATP and
188
MgCl2. After the enzymes were precipitated by adding acetone, the thioester bonds were
189
hydrolyzed with 0.1 M KOH. The resulting sample was analyzed by LC-ESI-MS and
190
compared with authentic phenylacetyl valine prepared by chemical synthesis. As shown in

191
Figure 6, a specific peak with the same retention time and molecular mass as those of the
192
authentic standard was clearly detected in the sample, showing that phenylacetyl-CoA was
193
directly condensed with L-valine, which was activated at the A-domain and transferred to
194
PCP in module 1.
195
Recently, a similar mechanism for the formation of phenylacetate from phenylpyruvate
196
by a pyruvate dehydrogenase-like protein complex in ripostatin biosynthesis was reported.11
197
In this case, however, the phenylacetyl group of S-phenylacetyldihydrolipoamide was
198
directly transferred to an acyl carrier protein to form a phenylacetyl-S-acyl carrier protein
199
without the formation of phenylacetyl-CoA.
200
In summary, we studied the biosynthetic machinery of 1 and 2, which are both
201
heptapeptide derivatives and have the same amino acid sequence except for the second
202
amino acid. Through heterologous expression of the biosynthetic gene cluster and in vitro
203
assay with the recombinant Orf3, the single A-domain in module 2 was suggested to
204
activate both L-Asp and L-cysteic acid. We also showed that N-terminal phenylacetylation
205
was catalyzed by the first C-domain in module 1 with
206
phenylacetyl-CoA supplied by a phenylpyruvate dehydrogenase complex.

5ʹ-TGGCGTAAGCTTTCAGCGGGAAGGACTGGT-3ʹ. The latter was amplified with the
413
primers
414
5ʹ-AAAAAGCTTGCCGACCAGCAGCGCGAT-3ʹ. Each amplified fragment was cloned
415
into the NdeI-HindIII site of pET28a to construct the plasmids pOrf4-CA and pOrf4-PCP, to
416
express recombinant enzymes fused with an N-terminal His-tag. For activation of the
417
PCP-domain, the plasmid (pACYC-Sfp) expressing phosphopantetheinyl transferase of
418
Bacillus subtilis (Sfp) was constructed by digesting the pET-Sfp plasmid21 with NdeI and
419
XhoI and then cloning the sfp fragment into the NdeI-XhoI site of pACYCDuet-1 (Merck).

Each plasmid was used to transform E. coli BL21(DE3) for protein overexpression.

The recombinant C-A-domains (2.9 µM) and recombinant PCP-domain (82 µM)
423
were first incubated with L-valine (1 mM), ATP (1 mM), MgCl2 (10 mM), and DTT (2 mM)
424
in HEPES buffer (50 mM, pH 7.0) at 37°C for 30 min, before phenylacetyl-CoA
425
(approximately 0.1 mM) prepared from the in vitro enzyme assay and additional
426
recombinant C-A-domains (2.9 µM) were added and the reaction was incubated at 37°C for
427
30 min. The reaction product was precipitated by adding four volumes of acetone to the
428
reaction and keeping it at −80°C for 1 h. After centrifugation, the precipitates were
429
dissolved in 100 µL of 0.1 M KOH and incubated at 70°C for 10 min. After adding ethanol
430
into the solution (final concentration 40%) and centrifugation, the product was recovered
